So adorable!!! I love the last photo of him in a bag. You shoukd take him places in a bag, like the mall or a bank. You'd be surpised at where you can take puppies and be safe with their health and get away with. Btw, I love his dad (from your other thread).

@rikumom:We changed our vet, and the new one concluded that he had a worming issue. And that was the case since after treatment he didnt have diarreah anymore :) We fed him raw food for one week and we slowly introduced again the food that the breeder recommended. He is now on puppy food, luckily we found ekuanuba food here in Albania, and we will feed him with ekuanuba from now on :)

What i am looking for is how visibly his hips protrude from his sides. There should be a noticeable indent in front of his hips. Here is a visual guide:

Telling "ideal" and "heavy" apart from a side view of a fluffy dog is very difficult. Overhead is much easier. He does look like he might be ~5lbs heavy but I don't know if its just the photos. You can tell better in person.

@maruHe usually dosent go inside water more than past his paws, but today he was motivated by a seagull which was flying around, so he went inside past his knees, he didnt go deeper, we have not yet seen him swimming.

@rikumomYes for sure, as a puppy 8-9 weeks old he was almost grey with a small brownish tint.Then he became light brown. And now he has an orange-red colour. For sure the photos make him look like a really dark red because of additional saturation added by the camera.

Oh, I love that picture! Tajo is a very handsome Akita. And those Winnie the Pooh birthday hats! So cute!
